In the 1939 film classic The Women, much is made of the alluring quality of a specific color of nail polish: “Jungle Red.” It turns out that the characters’ faith in the product was not misplaced. 在1939年的经典影片《女人们》中，主角们常常说到一种特殊的指甲油颜色——“丛林红”特别具有诱惑力。科学证明，这些电影角色对这种指甲油色号的笃信并非没有根据。 New research suggests the color red on a woman does indeed signal sexual availability—not only to men, but also to other women. 现在科学研究指出，女性身上红色的装饰确实会向他人发送诱惑的信号——不仅向男性，也会向其他女性发送这种信号。 As we have noted previously, studies have found that men tend to view women in red as more sexually attractive. But, ladies, if you were thinking wearing that color would send a subliminal signal only males would pick up on, you’re out of luck. 我们已经知道，研究发现，男性往往认为穿红衣的女性更具有吸引力。但是姑娘们，如果你以为穿红衣只会对男性发送微妙的信号，那你就错了。 “Our results suggest that women perceive and behave toward other women in red as if these other women are actively advertising” their openness to the possibility of a sexual encounter, writes a research team led by University of Rochester psychologist Adam Pazda. |
